  1. I didn't see all the photos in your gallery post Guku. I think the newer pieces that you're working on look like a progression. Maybe it's the change in colors you're using or some of the bits and pieces you're putting in the fills. I still think you can tighten them up a little bit, but they are a better progression than the previous ones you've posted.

  2. Titty tagger?

     

    I'm not one to talk, but I'll be honest with you. I think your stuff looks kind of sloppy, but if you tightened it up a bit it might work. The last one is an improvement, but still looks kind of sloppy. To each their own though.

     

    I think you should also try and cut wood into these painted shapes and work with three dimensional pieces.

     

    Just my two cents.

  3. Some food recommendations.

    The spot screams Brooklyn hipster, but the food is fucking good. If you like oysters, try it out.

     

     

     

    A good Mexican spot in the Village is Mercadito.

    The portions are small and pricey compared to street food or your local Chili's, but it's really fucking good.

     

    If you do go to Mercadito, you should then bar hop around to the speak easy joints. They are all in the same general area and you'll get to walk around the East Village.

     

    Death and Company

    Mayahuel - (Tequila and Mezcal themed)

    Cienfuegos (Rum themed)

    There are also tons of other bars and a few other speak easy joints in that area. Just wander from bar to bar drinking.

     

    There's also Please Don't Tell, but you need to make reservations.

    You use a secret door in a phone booth to enter.

    2) eat nothing but pizza. but, if you want something other than pizza: take the L to the myrtle-wyckoff stop, go out the entrance on wyckoff and get tacos and stuff from the truck out there. shit is cheap and delicious. make sure you go to the one on WYCKOFF... not the truck around the corner on myrtle.

     

     

    Are you talking about El Paisa on Myrtle and Irving?

    Their Al Pastor is pretty damn good, but I think they've fallen off. They used to do the tacos proper, now they gringo them up by using tomatoes and shredded lettuce and don't add the avocado sauce.

     

    The truck that's behind McDonald's (right off the stop) is pretty good. I always get attitude when I go to the cart right outside the station so I stopped going there. The Chimi stand that is next to KFC is also damn good.

     

    The taco place right off the Dekalb stop that looks like a diner is also really good.

     

    If you like sushi, there are a ton of places, but if you want to save some money and drink some beers, I recommend going to Edo on E 17th (btwn Broadway and 5th). I went the other night and they had 50% off beers when you ordered food. Get the spicy roll combo and drink all night. It's right around the corner from Union Square.

  5. Not for nothing, but all you fucks screaming "NIGGER NIGGER NIGGER" are the ignorant ones. The fact that they were black is just a coincidence. The ignorance they were acting out was just the pathetic street mentality you see in the hoods around here. It easily could have been two Dominicans, Puerto Ricans, or White Anglo-Saxons from Russia. This was your typical ignorance raising ignorance scenario.

     

    Fuck street ignorance.

  6. Bill Hicks was a genius comedian and we really needed him in the past years since his death. The material he could have given us with the internet, politics, social networking?

     

    I wish he didn't die.

  7. Really? any bodega guy has a bat or worse under the counter, youre dealing with people allday on the street, of course you'd have something. For this exact reason.

     

    ^^This. Parking Lot attendants have to deal with some fucked up shit. People think they can piss on them if they want, so why not bring some support. I think they can justify having a machete for purposes of self defense, or they can make up shit like "we need it to chop down the limbs of trees around the lot."

     

     

    I wonder what made the father flip out like that. If this was over some dumb shit like "I lost my ticket" or "Get my car out faster" than kudos to you pops --you got your son killed over some dumb shit.

     

     

    Sorry, but I don't feel any sympathy for this situation. If you want to be the aggressor when you know one guy is already wielding a machete, than you should know what the turn out could be. These dudes were defending themselves obviously. I'm sure the community will be in an uproar, but that's just ignorance defending the ignorant.

  8. I say fuck the whole anti-hipster thing, and come to Brooklyn for the food.

     

    Take the L to Lorimer, exit at the Metropolitan and Union exit. Walk towards the bridge (BQE) on Metropolitan. Go under the bridge and 3 or so blocks away is Fette Sau.

    Get the under belly. Trust me. BBQ and booze is a good thing.

     

    I pretty much stay in Brooklyn because I don't know anyone in any other boro. If you're into good food, I can point you in the direction of some solid places that aren't the typical cliche shit in Manhattan.

     

    If you're going to do anything on the postcard tour, I recommend going to Coney Island. If it's on a hot weekend day, you'll be entertained for hours. In the span of 10 minutes I saw:

     

    1. A Mexican get washed up on shore with a cardboard splint duct taped to his leg and four Dominican children staring at him like he was a baby whale.

     

    2. A little boy belly down in a puddle under one of the spraying palm trees, bobbing his head up and down and spitting out the water from those puddles.

     

    3. A guy with his gut hanging out of his shirt covered in hair, holding an old 1998 mini-dv camera and filming girls in bikinis. I swear he probably had a collection from god only knows what year.

     

     

    So I think that's a good spot to check out for a day. Swim in that water. It's the washout from the East River. Enjoy!

     

    As for strip clubs around Time Square --go to Flashdancers. Get sushi and a lapdance.

  9. I went over to Harvey Wallbanger's house one night and he says "I got something you've got to see." His wife was sitting on the couch as he put in a DVD. Then he turned to me and said "We don't usually have people over and show them porn, but you've GOT to see this shit!" It was that scene from Night Dreams. He's got the whole movie.

     

    At first I was like "Oh shit Glik$ started a thread." Then I was like "Good for him, he didn't."

  10. I'm just going to say that you're already doing it wrong. You're going to be in Times Square, the Empire State Building and Statue of Liberty? Why don't you just say "I can't wait to eat at TGI. Friday's and The Hard Rock!"

     

     

    What do you get into?
